Frequencies of MMPI-168 code types among asymptomatic and symptomatic HIV-1 seropositive gay men

L H Moore et al. J Pers Assess. 1994 Dec.

Abstract

Welsh codes of Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-168 (MMPI-168) profiles were calculated for 151 HIV-1 seropositive gay men and 27 gay seronegative controls. Although 99% of seropositives' profiles were clinically elevated, the profile configurations among subjects were varied. These data document the presence of considerable emotional distress among HIV-infected individuals, yet the heterogeneity of codes encountered argues against generalizations of seropositive subjects based upon mean MMPI profiles.
